“I said something I’ve never said to anybody else in the business,” he recalled.
James Cameron had some stern words for one particular movie exec who took issue with the controversial runtime of his 2009 blockbuster “Avatar.”
Cameron said the exec, who “who will go unnamed, because this is a really negative review,” approached him with a “stricken cancer-diagnosis expression” after an early screening of the film. He went on, “‘So I’m not asking you to say something that you don’t feel, but just know that I will always know that no matter how complimentary you are about the movie in the future when it makes all the money’—and that’s exactly what I said, in caps, ALL THE MONEY, not some of the money, all the f—ing money. I said, ‘You can’t come back to me and compliment the film or chum along and say, “Look what we did together.”‘ You won’t be able to do that.
The film ultimately broke multiple records with its $77,025,481 domestic opening weekend, according toCharacter Neytiri, voiced by Zoe Saldana, is shown in a scene from 2009s “Avatar.”Elsewhere in the interview, Cameron revealed that “Avatar: The Way of Water” will have to be the “third or fourth highest-grossing film in history” just to break even.
